Against the harsh winter air and the deepening of snow

The camellia flows in the breeze

And freezes under layers of ice

 

Struggling to stay alive

Huddling together for safety and heat

Staying out of the way of the passing

 

From the depth of the snow they strive

They are pale and dying

Being poisoned from the air

 

They will soon die with their children by their side

Caring and crying for the safety of their children

Sitting, being chilled and starved, waiting for peace
